Degrees of Science: Measles

(KWTX) -Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but we continue to see periodic outbreaks, including this year, of this very contagious virus. In this week’s Degrees of Science we are talking with Dr. Jana Shaw, a professor of pediatrics, and public health and preventive medicine, at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Dr. Shaw lays out the symptoms of Measles, why it is such a health scare, and how safe the MMR vaccine is.
